Anna
Daniels

Anna Daniels is one of Australia’s best storytellers.

A natural public speaker and MC, Anna is as much at home on the stage in Sydney as she is in Stanthorpe!

With a great affinity and love for regional and rural Australia, Anna frequently champions country events and characters, and has presented for Landline on ABC1, and ABC Radio Brisbane. She has lived and worked in London, Darwin, Melbourne, Cairns, and now Brisbane.

Growing up as one of five children in Rockhampton, the Beef Capital of Australia, Anna's points of difference are her country background, her humour, her relatability and vibrancy, and her ability to hang in there with positivity and hope when times get tough!

Current work

With her country background, warmth and refreshing sense of humour, Anna has been entertaining us for several years as a presenter on The Project. From sailing aboard the Queen Mary 2; joining an outback postie on one of Australia’s longest mail-runs, to reporting from Beef Week in Rockhampton, and presenting live from The Project desk in Melbourne, Anna's highly entertaining segments have been a hit with both urban and rural audiences.

In addition to presenting her own stories for The Project, she produced Red Symons' Breakfast Program on ABC Radio Melbourne, presented for the popular Channel 7 travel show Queensland Weekender, and produced the BBC One series John Bishop's Australia, featuring the UK comedian, John Bishop.

Award: With a great passion for comedy, Anna kicked off her presenting career with the ABC, co-winning the network’s Comedy Segment of the Year Award for her radio interview with Russell Crowe. She then went on to co-create the ABC's first online comedy series, Tough at the Top, set in Darwin, with Melbourne comedian Anne Edmonds. Winning national comedy awards, the Tough at the Top sketches continue to be a hit on YouTube.
